### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good compendium of wood bending techniques
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2009*

I really like this book.  It provides a good overview of a variety of wood bending techniques including green wood bending, constructing curved wood laminates, hot water bending, steam bending, heat bending of relatively thin materials, vacuum press bending, etc.  The author discusses how to design and build bending forms and illustrates the techniques with a variety of in-depth projects.  As an example, he illustrates hot water bending with the project of building a shaker oval box.  The instructions for this (and all other projects) are quite complete, so one won't be left scratching one's head in the middle of a project.  One could get a pretty good background in wood bending (as well as have a lot of fun!) by carrying out the different projects.One feature I found quite interesting was his discussion of how luthiers use heat (no water or steam involved) to bend the sides of a guitar.  Apparently this can be done wither without a form or completely free-hand (with no form at all) using a heated "pipe" to heat and bend the wood sides by hand.  I rather imagine doing this might be possible, but that without a lot of practice, it'd be well nigh impossible to get the two sides of the guitar bent so they are symmetrical.  All in all, using forms seems easier to me.While some of the material (that on guitars and violins, for example) may be a bit specialized, it is still of interest.  Then too, one never knows when a bit of knowledge may come in useful.I got this because I was primarily interested in information about steam bending.  The book did a good job of discussing that, but I appreciated reading about other techniques as well.  All in all, a very informative and interesting book.

    Bending Explained
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2012*

First of all this book covers what one needs to know to bend wood which is considerable.  I think it is extremely well illustrated and demonstrates the considerable knowledge of the author.  There are some practical illustrations of the process for several bending projects.  He also covers several types of bending such as green wood, vacuum, steam and lamination.  This may not be the only book one would want in order to be able to get into bending but it is one of the books you would want and is well worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent for home library.
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013*

This book should be in every hobby or professional woodworker's library.  The information is all "meat" and no wasted pages and pages of useless info.  Has some excellent ideas for homemade equipment and even some thought provoking photos of finished wood items as examples of what can be done at home.
